ASC-39320D IG.fm Page 1 Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:53 AM INTRODUCTION The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D enables you to connect up to 30 SCSI devices—such as very large arrays of high-performance hard disk drives, external storage subsystems, Ultra320/160 hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives—to any Intel-based computer with 64- or 32-bit PCI/PCI-X expansion slots. The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D has two independent SCSI channels, each with a maximum throughput of 320 MB/sec.
ASC-39320D IG.fm Page 2 Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:53 AM Support for Older SCSI Devices If you have single-ended Ultra SCSI and earlier SCSI devices, Adaptec recommends that you connect them together on one channel of the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D and that you connect newer Ultra320/160 SCSI and Ultra2 devices to the other channel.
ASC-39320D IG.fm Page 3 Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:53 AM STEP 2 STEP 3 After you turn off your computer and unplug the power cord, remove the cover from the computer. Locate an unused 64-bit PCI expansion slot and remove the expansion slot cover. If the computer does not have a 64-bit slot, you can install the card in a 32-bit PCI slot. The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D supports both 5V and 3.3V 64-bit slots. (The expansion slot must be compliant with PCI Rev. 2.1 or PCI-X Rev. 1.
ASC-39320D IG.fm Page 4 Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:53 AM STEP 4 Insert the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D in the 64-bit (or 32-bit) PCI or PCI-X expansion slot; press down firmly until the card clicks into place, then replace the slot cover screw. When installed properly, the card should appear level with the expansion slot, as shown below.
ASC-39320D IG.fm Page 5 Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:53 AM The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D is preset to ID 7 for each channel and should not be changed. If you boot from a SCSI hard disk, make sure the hard disk SCSI ID is set to 0. (Most SCSI hard disks are preset to SCSI ID 0 at the factory.) The SCSI IDs for internal devices are usually set with jumpers; SCSI IDs for external devices are usually set with a switch on the back of the device.
ASC-39320D IG.fm Page 6 Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:53 AM The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D has two separate Ultra320/160 SCSI channels, as shown in the figure on page 1. Channel A has an internal LVD/SE connector to which you can connect internal SCSI devices. NOTE Adaptec recommends that you keep your Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices on a separate SCSI channel from your Ultra SCSI devices. This allows the newer Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to transfer data at their maximum speed.
ASC-39320D IG.fm Page 7 Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:53 AM STEP 3 Plug the internal Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the other cable connectors, starting with the connector at the terminated end of the cable. Ultra320/160 or Ultra2 SCSI devices Plug first device to this connector Built-in terminator on cable NOTE Internal Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices come from the factory with termination disabled and cannot be changed.
ASC-39320D IG.fm Page 8 Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:53 AM Follow these steps to connect your external SCSI devices: STEP 1 Connect one end of an external SCSI cable to one of the external Ultra320/160 connectors on the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D. 68-pin external LVD/VHDCI SCSI connector (Ch A) VHDCI external LVD SCSI cable 68-pin external LVD/VHDCI SCSI connector (Ch B) STEP 2 Connect the other end of the cable to a SCSI connector on the back of an external device.
ASC-39320D IG.fm Page 9 Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:53 AM STEP 4 Connect power cables to all external device(s) and to the computer. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT TERMINATION The last SCSI device on the end of each SCSI bus cable must be terminated, and termination must be disabled for all other devices in the middle of the cables. Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices are automatically unterminated, but Ultra SCSI and Fast/Wide SCSI devices do have termination that you must check.
ASC-39320D IG.fm Page 10 Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:53 AM ADAPTEC SCSI CARD DRIVER SOFTWARE NOTE To use the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D, driver software must be installed for your operating system. Installation of the driver software varies depending on how and where you purchased the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D.
